Porpoise beads and first fish

I did get my little porpoise beads on Nicki's block. I can't believe I found them just before this block arrived... They are just perfect for that seam and I had about a dozen left.... Only because I was listening to a great mystery..."Religious Body" by Catherine Aird.... I was able to stay up and bead the first fish... I had worked outside all morning and then a jewelry-making friend came for the afternoon and I finished a necklace. We both love to take apart old pieces and recycle them....

I've known you've had my block and didn't want to peek but just couldn't help myself! Here it is, almost 5:00 in the morning and I was just thinking I was getting tired enough to sleep - now that I've seen what you've done I can't - it is so amazingly awesome! Thank you so much Gerry -I just love the dolphins as they have a special place in my heart.

I'll have to tell you the story someday of how my husband and I got to be swimming in the ocean in Maui with a pod of dolphins all by ourselves on our wedding day - it was incredible!
